The USAD is like a studing thing were you can get scholoships...like you get multiple thousands of papers (from all different topics) and you have to memorize the info and you have to look up info on the internet and memorize that...and you have to read a lame book and memorize little details in it...haha...this was one question from the Novel (Death comes for the Archbishop):



What color shirt was Father Latour wearing on his trip from Acoma the 3rd time?



and that was mentioned like 1 time!!





Its really only fun cuz of the people and hopes of scholoships!!
